Centering Prayer is a method of meditation with a strong emphasis on interior silence that prepares us to experience God’s presence within us. It is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. This group includes beginners as well as long-time practitioners. Each week includes a 20 minute sit in silence followed by conversation. Newcomers may arrive at 11:45 for a brief introduction. For more info contact Debra at 303.725.4038.

Faith in Real Life
​(for little Lutherans)

Wondering how to realistically incorporate faith moments into every day life with your infant or toddler? Here are a few suggestions from Dr. Dawn Rundman. Check out her book, Little Steps, Big Faith.

• Good Morning! 
  • As you pick up your child up from their crib or bed, say: "This is the day that the Lord has made!" (Psalm 118:24) I'm so happy to see you and share this new day!
• Buckle Blessing:
  • As you buckle your child in their carseat, make the sign of the cross on their forehead and say, "God loves you and so do I."
• Table Prayer
  • Five second prayer: "Thank you God for this good food. A-men!" Sooner than you think, your little one will join in. 
• Bath Time Bible Stories
  • While your child plays in the bath, read one to two bible stories from your children's bible. Keep the bible by the bathtub: it's okay if it gets a little wet and loved.
